I'm not sure where the mine is at the moment, apart from it's in Tunisia and you have to enter some long/lat so I entered 0,0

Yes I know it's tricky getting the right refs. Had the same problem myself. I don't think this is far off (not exact) for Bou Grime 36.0039 09.1206.

Thanks for co-ords. I have entered them in the location.

It was a while ago when we went to Tunisia (1998) and it was on a field trip hence most of the time involved sitting on a coach starring at of the window.

Totally off-topic Lee, but what on earth is your avatar of?!

I've spent several months believing it to be a white chicken, but I don't think it is...

Actually its Bou Grine, was worked until the mid 1980's by Breakwater Resources. It is a sediment-hosted zinc-lead deposit and could well be re-opened by Maghreb Minerals in tandem with their nearby projects as the flotation plant is in C&M.
